"Our aim is to carry forward the site's distinctive identity and strengthen the connection between architecture, landscape and life by the lake. The gateway through the building is a simple yet striking move. It opens the site towards the water and makes room for community, physical activity and quiet moments in every season," says Thomas Olsen, Head of Landscape & Urbanism at C.F. Møller Architects.

An Important Step Towards Realisation
With the DKK 3 million support from Nordea-fonden, Viborg Municipality has taken a significant step towards realising the project.

"This is about much more than a new building. We want to create a place where people can come together through community, physical activity and experiences by the lake, whether they are winter swimmers, enjoy water sports or simply like spending time by the water," says Mads Panny (Social Democrats), Chair of the Culture and Leisure Committee, Viborg Municipality.

The project has been developed in collaboration with Viborg Municipality and with input from local users, including the winter swimming club Viborg Vinterbader, Viborg Youth School and local residents.
Work to secure the remaining funding is ongoing. Under the current schedule, construction is expected to begin in early 2027, with Nørresøbadet set to reopen by the end of 2027.
